Black & Decker Leaf Hog 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher BV4000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My family spent hours (if not days) raking leaves last fall. This fall, I ordered the Leaf Hog, and I'm glad I did. We "raked" (or is it "hogged") three times, as the leaves dropped off the trees, and each time put out two to four yard waste bags. There's no question that the vacuum attachment decreased the volume of the leaves. I'm not sure by how much, but if I had to guess, I'd say 4:1 or better, which saved me money on bags and on the yard waste stickers we have to put on the bags.
The Leaf Hog excels in reducing how long it takes to collect all of the leaves into piles and vacuum them up. I found the low speed was more than adequate to blow around dry leaves. It's also more accurate than the higher speed. What previously took four of us hours can be done in about 30 minutes. If you've got mulched beds, you'll want to use a rake to pull the leaves away from the beds so you don't blow your mulch all over the place.
Of course, both of my children (11 and 8 years old) wanted to try it. On low speed, I wasn't concerned about damage to their hearing, and they could each easily manipulate the blower. They were also able to use the vacuum, but it got too heavy for my 8-year-old when it started filling up.
The vacuum is where the Leaf Hog really earns its money. It quickly and easily sucks up leaves and small sticks. After using it to fill about ten bags of mulched leaves, the impeller seems to have suffered no damage. My 11-year-old discovered a trick to dumping the bag into the yard waste bag: simply insert the Leaf Hog bag's plastic handle into the yard waste bag first (to keep the yard waste bag open) and then tip over the Leaf Hog bag to empty the leaves into the yard waste bag.
I can see, as other reviewers noted, how the plastic clip that holds the bag onto the motor might break. However, if you fully depress the tab before you pull off the bag (and don't just yank it off), there should be no problem.
When using the vacuum, there may be a small amount of dust that comes through, but the bag filters almost all of it. What does come out is caught by the plastic cover on the back of the bag. When I was done, I just wiped off whatever loose dust I could and put the parts away.
The Leaf Hog reduces your workload, saves you money, and might even be fun.

Shark V1950 Cordless VX3 Carpet & Floor Sweeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The people at Shark and Euro-Pro cleaning companies have always known how to make so many great products with vacuums, and carpet sweepers. Nevertheless, when it comes down to it, it really is on how well the vacuum really lasts. Shark's previous cordless sweepers have all done a great job at picking up after everyday messes, but they have been some glitches. I was honestly very skeptical with the latest model when I saw it on television, and I liked it a lot, but as I started to use it, I was hoping for just a bit more. Here is my verdict.
The Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper is the latest in Euro-Pro's well-recieved carpet sweeper line. This one does a good job at picking up after pet hair and fuzz, and is very simple to setup. You can pick up actually a lot of pet hair, fuzz, or anything off your floors and carpets. It is easy to charge up, and does really works well. The no-mess dust cup is very simple to clean up, and easily removes all that was picked up from the floors. The vacuum is also very easy to carry around, and take from room to room, without feeling the drag of carrying around your vacuum and getting a backache.
That is what I think, even though there really are a few problems that still make could've been a bit easier to pick up after. The first problem deals with the battery. ou have to really keep the sweeper plugged in to your outelt for at least a day, inorder to fully charge a the battery. The VX3's battery also could've had a bit stronger battery life than just an hour long. The second problem deals with the backsaver feature. While the VX3 does pick up well, and is easy to operate, I had a tricky time manuvering the VX3 with the backsaver handle. While the concept is ingenius at folding the handle to make it easier at picking up under the beds and those hard-to-reach areas, it is honestly a little bit harder to control and steer the sweeper.
Still, despite a few problems with the Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper, I still think it is a very good buy for anyone who wants a easier way to clean up after all those messes on the floor. It just does a great job at really cleaning up your floors and is great for small homes and apartments, or any home that works at a great pace. While you can get this though the As Seen On TV ads, you also can find this at your nearest Macy's for around $70, instead of getting both the VX3 and VX1 models like the infomercial says in its offer for $130. So, suck those problems on the floor away, and try this sweeper out.

Black & Decker LH5000 12 amp Variable Speed Electric Leaf Hog Blower/Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I sought an effective pine needle vacuum. I bought both this B&D unit AND the Toro equivalent model. They are nearly identical in size, shape, weight, specs, performance, price, and even their red color. Both products powerfully vacuum leaves quite well, but sucking pine needles is only 50 - 70% as effective by either brand. But that's not disappointing, especially in my rocks & stones & pebbles terrain where raking is impractical. Although both use metallic blades, the B&D does a much better job of mulching leaves.

Black & Decker BV-006 Blower/Vacuum Leaf Collection System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I put a large trash bag in a trash container and pull the edges over the top then tie the B & D leaf collector under the handles of the container, this way it can not slip off, attach it to my blower/vac and start vacuuming the leaves. What normally took two to three hours, now took less than one and I didn't have to bend over once.
The release on the pull string was a little tricky at first but after opening and closing it a few times I had no problems.
Without the B & D Leaf Collection System I was emptying the bag almost once every few minutes and making a mess each time. Now once the container if full I just tie the trash bag pull it out and put in another. I highly recomend it.

Eye-Vac EVPRO Professional Touchless Stationary Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have had this for some time and it does work well, however it is large. Much larger than I anticipated so it is a little hard to hide in the kitchen, but it definitely does its job.

Equipped with a powerful 1400-watt motor, this bagless stationary vacuum functions as an electric dustpan, making it easier to sweep up floors and keep them looking clean. To use, simply sweep dirt, dust, and hair up to the base of the unit; infrared sensors will detect the debris and activate the vacuum, causing it to completely suck up the pile before shutting off automatically. A simple control switch makes it possible to turn the unit on and off manually as well. The electric dustpan features cyclonic action for efficient operation, plus dual HEPA filtration to ensure clean air gets released back into the room. The HEPA filters can be washed with warm water and mild soap as needed, which means no replacement filters necessary. The device works well on bare-floor surfaces like tile, wood, vinyl, or concrete, and it makes a nice addition to any hair salon, barber shop, workshop, garage, or busy household kitchen. Shipped fully assembled, the touchless stationary vacuum measures 13 by 7-1/2 by 20-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Nine Stars Infrared Touchless Stainless Steel Trash Can Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, this trash can does what it is designed to do. The infrared sensor works. The lid opens. It closes. It looks good. It is a good size. And, it lets you put trash in.
The problem is the design of the canister. For some unknown reason, the lip at the top of the can is to the inside.
Don't see the problem? With the lip on the inside, the body of the can is larger than the lip. So, when you try to pull the bag out, it hangs and tears the bag. So 90% of the time (even with expensive, thick bags) I end up cleaning up a mess on the floor.
Our solution: we took a large piece of cardboard, cut it to size and lined the can with it so the body of the can is the same size as the lip.
